Summer Projects

 
My output is slow, as in turtle pace slow. But I think I'm getting better at listening to my voice by not planning what to make--for now making things with fabric is just for fun, just a way to see what comes into existence.

I felt like embroidering with no underlying drawing or idea--interesting!


Another pillow that I made from vintage handkerchiefs back in the 2000's. 
I'm busily embellishing them now.


Made from repurposed sweatshirts, t-shirts, bag handles and found life jacket, 
with a little hand dyed batik on the left.


Embroidered detail. No preconceived notions were involved in the making of this piece!
